Status: NEW

(Bugzilla :: Bugzilla-General, enhancement)

Description

[Yavor Nikolov]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: 4.0

When using Bugzilla directly from a standalone Perl application (OS daemon, batch script, etc) - currently Bugzilla seems to do some console-specific initializations which are most likely not desired.

Would be good to skip those (let the embedding application take control on its outputs encoding).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run this on non utf8 environment (e.g. Windows usually results in weird encodings)
2.Run standalone perl app (USAGE_MODE_CMDLINE) - in which Bugzilla is loaded ("use Bugzilla;")
3.Check PerlIO layers
Actual Results:  
Bugzilla is changing stdout/stderr encoding in Bugzilla::Install::Util->set_output_encodings(). (This is called by Bugzilla.pm init_page which is called on module initialization). 

Use case is also described here (alongside with another issue): http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.bugzilla/browse_thread/thread/87e6b858e2594e46


Expected Results:  
Be able to somehow instruct Bugzilla so that it skips changing outputs encoding (and maybe other irrelevant initializations intended for foreground console usage).
